Saturday was another perfect day to get together with friends and drive these beautiful mountain roads. We gathered in the parking lot at the new Asheville Outlets. Driving into old Asheville, we encountered tree lined streets with arbor-like avenues. Going up one of the mountains to the east, we stopped to see a beautiful view …

Friday night in a small town, and Books!
Last night was the beginning of a concert series that our small town does every summer. It is called Music on Main, and is free, just bring a chair. Our car club decided to attend the associated car show too, so we all gathered at a local shopping center and drove in together. Music was …
Spring Drive with the Car Club
Saturday was a spectacular day, warm and sunny with lazy clouds drifting around. The car club had planned a drive along the French Broad River and its tributaries, ending at a member's home for a home smoked barbeque dinner with all the fixin's. We met at one of our rural grocery stores, lining up in …
Late April Sunday Drive
We woke up Sunday to a lovely view across the valley just after dawn. Fog in the valley shows the layers of hills and mountains so much better than a clear view. Gradually the fog burned away, and we decided to go for a nice little drive with friends in our little British cars. We …

New Year’s Eve Fun
There are all sorts of traditions for New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. One I have done for many years, and few others seem to know about, is hiding money outside. I have no idea where it came from. My mother did it so I do too. It involves hiding some money outside on …
